“I respect Coach [Larry] Eustachy and what he’s been through,” Behanan told Bleacher Report. “We have a good connection.”

Behanan is currently in Houston getting treatment for personal issues. He'll stay there through the spring while taking online courses with Colorado State, according to Bleacher Report.

The 6-6, 250-pound junior forward was dismissed by Louisville last month. He had previously been suspended for violating university policy and had been investigated for his Final Four ring being put up for auction on a memorabilia site. He was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Behanan was averaging 7.6 points and 6.3 rebounds and won the National Championship with the Cardinals last spring.
